"Do you have a pen?"
"Um?"
"I will draw my dream for you."
Li Dangdang found me a ballpoint pen and a small notebook: "Nothing else." He said this, as if he was afraid that I would not be able to draw with the excuse of the poor tools, so I rolled my eyes at him with disdain , took the ballpoint pen and notebook and buried himself in drawing.
As a professional cartoonist without imagination, solid drawing skills are the foundation of my life. I sketched the scenes that I couldn't describe on paper. The strokes were very fast, and the picture was inevitably a bit scribbled, but the proportions of the scene and the people were not biased.
I didn’t speak when I was painting, and neither did Li Dangdang. In the quiet underground office of the Suction Association, there was only the soft sound of my pen tip rubbing against the paper, and my heavy and sometimes light breathing following the strokes.
The moment I stopped writing and raised my head, I realized that Li Dangdang was doing nothing, so he kept staring at my painting intently. Seeing that I stopped writing, he also raised his eyelids, his eyes met, his breathing was very close, and the eyes of each other in his pupils The figure is the distance you can snuggle.
I lifted the painting up and put it between me and Li Dangdang, like a barrier that could separate him and me: "The painting is finished."
Li Dangdang leaned back in the chair, folded his arms and called me: "Su Xiaoxin."
When I saw his posture, I immediately became defensive: "That's all right, all right, I didn't let you see if my drawing is good or not, you just see what it means..."
"Your drawing is not bad."
"Boom" my heart beat faster, not because of anything else, just because... Li Dangdeng is so flattering!
"You look good at drawing, too."
I opened my eyes wide and looked at Li Dangdang. When the ability I was most proud of was recognized by the person who didn't recognize me the most, after the initial moment of shock and astonishment, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly: "Then..."
"Next time you see me, don't talk, just draw."
"..."
Hehe, I'm so naive, what kind of ivory can this guy spit out of his mouth
I tapped my pen on my notebook: "Look at this! Here's the point!"
Li Dangdang followed my pen and glanced at my painting again: "The air-raid shelter during the bombing period, it doesn't look big. This is a mother who lost her child. Give me a detailed description of her face. I will take it to someone to scan and copy. Let it out."
I was taken aback: "Scan, copy and distribute?"
"Well, what you saw probably looked like the zombie that bit you when it was alive." Li Dangdang said this with a cold expression, which sent a chill down my spine, "Li Peipei told me about your dream yesterday, and I Discussed with several doctors and morticians, it is estimated that the mucus of zombies entered your blood and caused poisoning. There is variation, mucotoxicity with unknown uncertainty."
"I..." I tremblingly said, "I've been poisoned by the corpse? Am I... dying?" At the end, my tone changed, and when I couldn't control it, I burst into tears.
Li Dangdang glanced at me, his eyes full of disgust and conceit seemed to say, with Dad around, it is not so easy for you to want to die.
I controlled my emotions a little bit, and after a while, I still couldn't help but start thinking silently in my heart, I have to go back and write an outline for the unfinished manga, in case something happens to me, the story must always be explained to the readers! This is the ethics of being a professional cartoonist!
As I was thinking, I turned the pages of the notebook, made a big shape, and then started to draw a sketch of the face of the woman in my dream with a ballpoint pen. While drawing, I suddenly remembered something, raised my head and asked Li Dangdang: "I was bitten by that zombie last time, why didn't you just ask me to draw the appearance of that zombie at that time?"
Li Dangdang paused slightly as he wiped his glasses, squinted his eyes and asked me, "Oh, do you still remember what that zombie woman looked like?"
…
I'm sorry, I forgot. Regarding the memory of that night, I only remember the man in black who couldn't even see his face clearly. Well... It seems, indeed, that for a day or two after being attacked by zombies, I didn't care about "being bitten" at all, and devoted myself to the emotion of "love at first sight".
I was silent, lowered my head to draw, Li Dangdang cleaned his glasses, put them on the bridge of his nose, and then stood up: "I'm drawing here, I'll bring someone over, and go back with us today."
Without giving me a chance to ask any more questions, he walked out with his hands in his hands.
About an hour later, the tip of my ballpoint pen stopped at the corner of the woman's eyes, deepening a shadow, then straightened my back, took a breath, looked around, and added two strokes at the corner of her mouth.
"Wow!" I heard a child's childish exclamation, and a black head next to me immediately leaned over, admiring my painting in amazement: "It's a good painting!" The child said, looking up When I glanced at it, my eyes were as bright as obsidian, "You are amazing!"
There are very few children who can appreciate it like this. I was proud of it and was about to say a few words of modesty when the notebook in my hand was taken away. Call out: "Hello? Come to the front desk to get the documents and send them to me today. Second-level wanted."
The wanted orders of their suction association are divided into special wanted and first-level, second-level, third-level, fourth-level and fifth-level wanted.
Generally, the first-level wanted order is the highest wanted order. For example, if there is a non-human serial killing incident, or a large-scale non-human fight with heavy casualties, the main criminal will be issued a first-level wanted order. The second-level wanted order is the highest level in ordinary incidents. It seems that the matter of zombies puts a lot of pressure on them.
As for the most wanted, Li Peipei said that this is a secret belonging to their non-human institution, and most people don't know about it...
"Miss sister, not only do you draw beautifully, but you are also so beautiful, I am dumbfounded."
Um
I looked away from Li Dangdang, and saw the face of a half-human tall kid, the little boy was staring at me with blinking eyes as bright as obsidian. For a while, I couldn't believe it was a little boy who said just now That sentence:
"Miss sister has beautiful eyes. It must be because she has been seeing the world with such beautiful eyes, so the paintings are so beautiful."
Um!
etc! This kid! This kid is just...
"Oh, I'm blushing when I'm stared at by the beautiful young lady. I'm ashamed!" The little boy buried his head in my lap as he said, and just when his forehead was about to rub against me, a pale hand behind his back His collar picked him up.
Li Dangdang squinted at him: "Once you're old, stop being cute and take advantage of others."
"Huh? Uncle, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Li Dangdang stared at him rather disgusted, waved his hand, and threw him directly on the wall like throwing garbage. I exclaimed, thinking that the little boy was going to die on the spot, but I didn't expect the boy to hug him He turned his head a few times in the air, kicked his feet firmly on the wall, twisted his waist and abdomen, and landed perfectly like those gymnasts seen in the Olympic Games.
He was barefoot without shoes, and a bell was tied to his ankle, but after the set of movements just now, the bell on his foot didn't make a sound.
"Don't just look at his face, this guy is already an uncle in his 40s or 50s to you, please accept your look of looking at a child prodigy."
"Huh? Forty or fifty?" I was surprised, "Tianshan Child Elder?"
"No, I'm really just a little boy." He looked at me with a smile, "My name is Yu Shao, and you can call me Xiao Shao Shao or Yu Yu. I'm a mortician. My sister is going home."
"It's just a building, don't think too much about it." Li Dangdang interrupted him.
"I'm going to live in the same building with such a beautiful young lady today, and I feel so happy just thinking about it. I don't even think it's okay to have such an unpleasant foreign zombie."
"I'm not happy that you can continue to sleep in the office building."
Yu Shao didn't even look at Li Dangdang, walked up to me, and stretched out his hand: "We're leaving, it's so dark ahead, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it, so I want my young lady to lead me, otherwise I won't be able to walk."
I looked at him quietly, then looked at Li Dangdang, Li Dangdang nodded invisibly, and then I put my hand in the palm of this strange child with confidence, and the moment he held my hand, he The eyes that had always seemed innocent and cute suddenly turned sharp for a moment: "My little sister was bitten by a zombie a few days ago and always has nightmares, doesn't she?"
"Um… "
"Then be careful these few days."
My heart broke out: "Watch out for what?"
"Be careful of being taken away by zombies while dreaming."
Damn, what I said was so scary, my legs went limp immediately, and I couldn't walk anymore. When he saw that I was frightened, he laughed again, and while he was leading me, he said:
"But miss, don't worry, your building already has an enchantment under foreign zombies. Although I don't want to admit it, he is really powerful. Those disobedient zombies have no ability to break in. They just want to The ones who broke in may not be those ones..." He briefly mentioned something, then changed the subject again, "However, no matter what kind of zombies, I live in that building now, so I won't let such a beautiful lady If you want to play with them, you can only play with me."
Hearing this, I figured it out, this mortician was actually the guard Li Dangdao had found.
"Are you the one who got rid of those lost zombies?"
Yu Shao smiled softly: "Miss sister, I haven't chased corpses in person for a long time. Those are all done by my subordinates, but this time I ran into trouble and asked me to come over from Xiangxi to clean up the mess. It happened that I hadn't come for a long time either. I’ve been to Chongqing before, and I miss the spicy old hot pot here.” He pointed to the side, “It’s all because of this stingy workaholic uncle, I’ve been here for two days, and I’ve been asked to work in the basement and never let me go out For play."
While talking, we had already left the underground office building of the Sucking Association, and in the flickering of the magic circle, we came to the dilapidated and dilapidated house we walked in in the afternoon.
Yu Shao opened the door and walked out on the main street of Ciqikou with ease. It is already early in the morning. Compared with Ciqikou in the daytime, the ancient town at night really looks like an ancient town, but the traces of commercialization are still unavoidable. , Occasionally, one or two stores are rushing to renovate at night, and the other stores are closed. There are a few small bars playing a few folk songs with guitars around the clock.
The spring breeze is no longer cold, and with the dampness of the river, it gently blows over my face, blowing me a little drowsy.
"For hot pot, come upstairs another day and we can buy vegetables and cook by ourselves." I yawned and saw that the shop selling mahua on the side of the road was about to close. This mahua has been bought by my parents since I was a child. Their business is very busy during the day, and it takes at least ten minutes to wait in a long line. There is no one at night. Ordered two packs of glutinous rice dumplings.
"Little Shao Shao, come here, as a greeting." I gave him a bag, "I'll trouble you to take care of it in the future."
"Wow! Miss Sister, you are so kind!" Yu Shao happily took it, tore it open and ate one, squinting his eyes and boasting that it was delicious. The seller next to him saw it and called Yu Shao before closing time. In the past, he grabbed two handfuls of twist and stuffed them into his hands: "If you like it, eat more."
The cute and talking child really likes everywhere.
Yu Shao kept praising the shop owner over there.
I took a look at Li Dangdang, he was staring at the cat on the roof, I handed him another bag of twist: "This bag is for you."
Only then did Li Dangdang look down at me: "He was given a meeting gift, and what was given to me was... protection money?"
"Then do you accept it?"
Li Dang was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, and brought Xiao Ma Hua over.
I emphasized: "I received a protection fee, but I have to work."
The protection fee was collected, but it was to protect me.
He glanced at me, and when Yu Shao ran back holding the twist, he only said softly: "Draw your painting with peace of mind."
The author has something to say: Will be~a freshly released chapter~Gangzhen, before writing this article, I never thought that I would really go to Ciqikou at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening... This time, I did it !
Ciqikou at night is really good~ It’s like two worlds during the day~ I recommend girls from the same city to visit it when they have time.
